CAROLYN WEBBER The Park Record Clad in purple, the seniors at North Summit High School stepped into the auditorium one by one and marched down the aisles. Some parents and teachers wiped away tears as the students took their seats and smiled, excited and nervous about leaving their school and friends and starting a new chapter. The school’s graduation ceremony, which took place Monday, was a time for the 78 graduates to look back at their accomplishments, but also to ask themselves, “What comes next?” That was the question that Elias Michael Crittenden, valedictorian, began his speech with. He answered by saying that both failure and success would likely come to his classmates in the future, and he urged them to observe both as learning opportunities. Salutatorian Seth Thomas Brown also spoke of failures that he and his classmates overcame. He implored his classmates to keep a positive mindset in their futures. “Failure is a delay, not a defeat,” he said. “Don’t let fear of failure hold you back from reaching your goals.” Russ Hendry, principal of the high school, said that many of the graduates had already achieved successes.

Now, he is going up against more than 500 of the top students in the country. Iverson, a sixth-grade student from Rocky Mountain Middle School in Heber City, will compete at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., next week. He said that he is both nervous and excited for the competition. To ease his nerves, he said he turns to his list of over 600 words to study. The list has entirely different words from the ones he was asked to spell during the regional bee in March. Many of the words are new to Iverson. He typically spends about 45 minutes to an hour studying each day with his parents. Sometimes, he will try to use the new words in his vocabulary, such as omnilegent, which means reading or Please see Student, A-9 OPEN FOR LUNCH CELEBRATING OVER 56 YEARS OF BUSINESS IN PARK CITY STARTING @ $35/SF INSTALLED (3CM THICKNESS) Free UNDERMOUNT STAINLESS STEEL KITCHEN SINK with purchase OVER 10 COLONEW QUA RS OF RTZ!
